It is too early to tell, but it seems the peach crop is in good shape at this time. There is some bud damage, but the majority seem to have survived the 5 degree temperatures of last week. The fact that we had not had a warm period this winter has helped hold the buds back. I believe we will more than likely have a later than normal bloom this year. Normally this is beneficial because it is after bloom when the peaches are more vulnerable to freeze damage. We are still pruning and applying herbicides for weed control at this time, so when the warm weather arrives we have plenty to do. Check back later for more farm news.
